I Went Looking for the AI Weed Vape That Gives You Bitcoin for Smoking

A reporter investigated Gudtrip, a cannabis vape marketed as an AI-powered device that would reward users with Bitcoin.

The company’s site and social posts leaned heavily on AI, blockchain, and crypto branding, while regulators said they weren’t familiar with it.

With help from colleagues, the reporter found the product for sale at a California dispensary, confirming it was real despite the strange marketing.

The case underscores the odd intersection of cannabis, crypto incentives, and AI hype — and raises questions about product legitimacy and oversight.
